Bedminster, United Kingdom Bristol Reach Full time

**About Bristol Reach**

Bristol Reach are a supported accommodation provider for adults with learning disabilities, mental health problems and brain injuries. We aim to deliver quality homes and person-centred support that helps people to build confidence, skills, and independence.

We're looking to do things a bit differently, providing great quality support in an un-institutional setting. We do not aspire to be a giant care company, we want to deliver small, focussed and personalised projects that help people heal and progress.

Our first project opened in Bedminster in 2022 and our second in Kingswood in 2023. We also offer outreach support to a young man, ‘J’, in the community who has stepped down from Supported Living to his own flat.

**The vacancy**

This role is for 8-12 hours each week supporting our service user J in his own home and in the community. The ordinary shift pattern is 2pm-6pm Monday/Wednesday and 4pm-8pm on Friday. J will request his shifts in Bedminster, in Bristol City Centre or at his home in Knowle. We are ideally looking for someone local to J who can travel easily to and from his home (BS4 1).

If needed, this role can be expanded to include additional bank hours or regular weekly shifts in our supported living homes in Kingswood or Bedminster.

A key focus is to engage J in activities in the community and in his home, help prevent social exclusion and loneliness, and to help him to maximise his independence through skill building and support to access volunteering, training, and employment opportunities.

**What is J looking for?**

J is looking for someone who is dependable, funny and enjoys a good gossip. He is independently motivated but he values people who continually nudge him into expanding his horizons and keep him focussed on improving his living situation.

**Why work with Bristol Reach?**

A role with Bristol Reach means being part of a small, dynamic team which values fun and creativity as a core part of our support. We try to create an open, inclusive and supportive work environment and we are committed to remunerating all our staff in a way that recognises the hard work, skill and long-term social value of supporting adults to thrive in their communities.

These are some of the benefits staff members will enjoy at Bristol Reach:

- From 28 days paid annual leave including bank holidays (pro rata)
- Starting salary of £12/h, rising to £13/h after probation
- Contributory pension scheme
- Option to buy into company after two years
- Free / subsidised health and wellbeing opportunities including yoga and access to the headspace app
- Detailed induction programme, work plan and support when you start
- Being part of a vibrant and energetic organisation that values equality and diversity
- Ongoing training and development as part of your role and opportunities to learn from colleagues and other experienced professionals

In our most recent staff survey we asked:
How would you rate your access to ongoing support at Bristol Reach (i.e. support and supervision, availability of managers, help with personal challenges, support from colleagues etc.)?
